In the 1931 catalogue, CIF offered two models: the "Duchscher press, simple and fast models. (...) In our presses we apply prime quality steel iron, to resist any compression or shock stress. The pitch and sections adopted in the thread of our spindle, as well as its length, give better handling to the press and easier tightening for any amount of bagasse placed in the mould"; and the "Mabille press. (...) Our moulds, staves and meshes are made of good oak wood and the slats are fixed by special screws of our manufacture with double heads and nuts. Our arches are of special construction, overlapping easily, because they are forged, not nailed, and so are not weakened by the tightening given by the bolts".
